Chapter 642: Chapter 640: Thoughts

Song Yufang’s heart pounded with excitement.

Back in Qiyun Village, she had used practicing English as an excuse to interact with Yarn and Alton frequently. Unfortunately, neither of them had given her their contact information, treating her as just a passing acquaintance.

She knew the two foreign men weren’t interested in her, but she refused to accept it. Song Yufang had plans for them. She remembered the information Chen Weijun had dug up for her before: both men came from prominent families. Even though they were foreigners, their families were powerful and influential. This was especially true for the one named Alton. His family was supposedly connected to the Imperial Family, and they even held a title of nobility.

All of this was new and captivating to Song Yufang. She was just a girl from an ordinary farming family, but she yearned for a day when she would be rich and powerful, admired and fawned over. If she ever came into money, forget everyone else—even her own older brothers would greet her with smiles and regret everything they had done to her. And then there was Su Qing...

Song Yufang’s eyes narrowed. ’Once I have power, I will definitely get my revenge.’

However, these were still just fantasies. To make any of it a reality, the most crucial step was to capture the heart of either Yarn or Alton. She had been kicking herself for not getting their contact information before. But just now, she had overheard those people mention Yarn’s address. At that moment, Song Yufang felt incredibly fortunate. All her hard work studying English had finally paid off. Look at that—she’d found out Yarn’s address so easily.

Song Yufang’s eyes shone, and she couldn’t help but smile, pressing her lips together.

Zhao Xiaohui’s English wasn’t very good. She had only barely caught the names Yarn and Alton, along with a few other words. She smiled at Song Yufang and said, "Yu Fang, do you have a crush on one of those two? That wouldn’t be bad, actually. I think it would be a great thing if you could get together with one of them."

Zhao Xiaohui was naively trying to help Song Yufang strategize.

Song Yufang glanced at Zhao Xiaohui with a smile. "What are you talking about? Look at their status. I’m just a girl from the countryside. How could I possibly be worthy of them? If we’re talking about a good match, it would have to be someone like Su Qing. No matter what, Su Qing has status and a background. She has a much better chance than we do."

As she spoke, Song Yufang put on a somewhat crestfallen expression.

When Zhao Xiaohui heard Song Yufang mention Su Qing, she said angrily, "Speaking of Su Qing, I haven’t told you yet! I don’t know how she managed to hook him, but you won’t believe this—before school started, someone saw Mr. Alton going to find Su Qing with a bouquet of flowers."

"What!" Hearing this, Song Yufang almost lost her composure. Her heart twisted with jealousy. ’Mr. Alton! His family is connected to the Imperial Family and even has a hereditary title! I heard he’s the heir to his family. And someone like that actually went to find Su Qing with flowers!’

Jealousy burned inside Song Yufang, but she managed to suppress her anger. "Well, it’s not that surprising," she said. "Didn’t I just say? Su Qing’s status and background are what they are. She’s stronger than us no matter how you look at it. For some things, we have to give a hundred percent effort, but for people like Su Qing, opportunities might just fall into their laps without them even trying."

"What a piece of work," Zhao Xiaohui said, filled with indignation. "She just uses her status and background to lord it over ordinary people like us. Whenever I think about what they did to you last year, I get so angry. It was just too much."

"Forget it, don’t be angry. We’re just ordinary people, after all. Sometimes we just have to take it," Song Yufang said with a soft sigh.

"Hmph." Zhao Xiaohui gritted her teeth. "Someone like her deserves to be taught a lesson by the heavens. It’s just a shame she didn’t get what was coming to her last time."

"What!" Song Yufang was startled by Zhao Xiaohui’s words. "Xiao Hui, what did you do? I’m telling you, don’t go antagonizing her again. You’ll be the only one who suffers in the end. Everyone around here misunderstands me. You’re the only friend I can confide in. You can’t let anything happen to you. Promise me."

Zhao Xiaohui’s heart warmed at her words, and she quickly said, "No, no, I was just talking nonsense. It’s nothing. Let’s hurry back to campus."

"Are you sure it’s nothing?"

"Really, don’t worry," Zhao Xiaohui said hastily.

As if afraid Song Yufang would press her further, she quickly grabbed Song Yufang’s luggage and took the lead, heading for the station. "Come on, let’s hurry back to campus. We can make it just in time for lunch."

"Oh. Okay," Song Yufang replied. Out of Zhao Xiaohui’s line of sight, the corner of her mouth lifted in a slight smirk. ’Looks like it’s working. Perfect!’

Meanwhile, at Yarn’s place, Alton was fixing his hair in front of a mirror. He looked at his own beaming reflection and cheerfully asked Yarn, "Yarn, if I go find Su Qing today and ask her to dinner, do you think she’ll say yes?"

"Doubtful." Yarn was looking over some factory documents. Hearing Alton’s question, he said, "I don’t think she’s the type to agree so easily. She seems to have her own pride and principles."

For some reason, Yarn just had a feeling that was the kind of person Su Qing was.

Alton heard this and sighed. "Can’t you just encourage me a little?"

"I’m just giving you a heads-up, so you don’t get too crushed later," Yarn said with a small smile.

"Sigh, you have a point," Alton lamented. He then looked over at Yarn, who was engrossed in his documents, and after a moment’s thought, said with a grin, "Yarn, look at you, always busy with factory business. We haven’t gone out to eat together in ages, brother. Let’s go, let’s go! We can go to Beijing University together and invite Su Qing and her roommate to dinner. It’ll be fun with everyone!"

"Hey, you’re dragging me along on your date?" Yarn asked, his eyes wide.

"Tell me, are you my brother or not?" Alton quickly stepped forward and asked.

"Isn’t that obvious?"

"Exactly," Alton said with a grin. "If you’re my brother, then help a brother out. I’m going for a gradual approach, to let the beautiful Miss Su Qing feel my sincerity. I believe she’ll see my true heart sooner or later."

As he spoke, Alton made a gesture as if clutching his heart.

Yarn couldn’t help but chuckle and shake his head. "Alright, alright. Let me change my clothes. I’ll bite the bullet and accompany you on your girl-chasing expedition today."

"Ah, Yarn, I knew it! You’re the best brother a guy could have," Alton said with an exaggerated expression.

Yarn shot Alton a speechless glare.

However, just as Yarn and Alton were about to leave, they opened the door to find Angela, who was just about to knock.
